2 . Family meetings help your relationship with your teenagers

One good way to build cooperation among everyone in a family is to have a regular family meeting. Getting into the habit of family meetings takes time. Making the meetings work takes effort    1    

Meet at a regular time. A regular time might be once a week. Plan to have the meeting last from twenty minutes to an hour.

Make a list of topics. Some people call this list of topics an agenda. Post it on the refrigerator. Then people can add to it during the days before the meeting    2    

    3    The leader reads the meeting list and keeps things on track. Still, letting each person in the family have a chance to lead is important. Younger children will need help to do this.

Take notes. Write down the agreements and plans made in the meeting. These written notes are the minutes. Take turns doing the job of note-taking    4    Some families put them on the refrigerator near the next meeting’s agenda. Ask teens and older children to read the notes to younger children who don’t read yet.

Do what you agree to do. Stick to agreements until the next meeting. If people want to change the agreements, they can do it then. Children, teenagers and parents are expected to do what agree to do,

Take time for fun.   Meetings are a good way to solve problems    5     To add fun to meetings, talk about good things. Thank each person for some help given during the week. Ask each person to do the same. Ask people to talk about what is good for them right now, This sets a positive tone. It also teaches your children to encourage other people and themselves.

A．Some people wonder if a family meeting is worth the effort

B．Here are some ideas to help you.

C．Find a place to post the notes so that everyone can read them.

D．This rule applies to parents as well as teens and younger children.

E．This helps you deal with the things that are important to each person in the family.

F．But that’s not all they are for.

Dottie's Thanksgiving Dinner

Dottie, a puppy, knew today was special. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was getting ready for a big dinner. The doorbell kept ringing as cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts all came to visit.

Amazing smells were coming from the kitchen. Dottie was not allowed to be in the kitchen today. Mom said that she would get in the way. Dad said she would lick (舔) everything she could reach. They were both right.

The children had been asked to keep the dog out of the way. They did, at first. However, once their cousins arrived, they forgot about Dottie and started playing with each other. The dog got closer and closer to the kitchen. Everything smelled so good! On the edge of the table was a plate filled with slices of ham (火腿) . Before she had a chance to eat it, Dad saw her.

“No! Leave that alone, Dottie! No food for you,” he said. Then he let the dog out into the yard where some family members were playing football. Dottie smiled. This was good! She liked running. She grabbed (抓住)   the football from a small boy and wouldn’t give it back. He started to cry, and Dottie got in trouble.

“That's enough, Dottie,” said Uncle Bill, taking the ball away from her. “Maybe you should go back in.” He opened the door again, and the sad puppy went inside.

The puppy went into the dining room and no one was there. Dottie went under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it hung down to the ground. This was a good place for a sleep, she thought.

In the kitchen, everything was ready. Mom and Dad began carrying big bowls and plates of delicious food into the dining room. “Before we get started, we should take a family picture,” suggested Mom. Dad agreed. They went to tell everyone to go outside for a Thanksgiving photo together.

Dottie's nose woke up before she did. She came out from under the table. She looked around. The house was empty. She remembered what Dad had said. “No food for you.” He was wrong.

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Shoveling the snow had always been the best part about winter. Not that I thought it was fun, but my dad’s reaction to a clean driveway kept me going. He hated shoveling snow more than anything. So, I took it upon myself at eight years old to do it for him. Every time I saw snow fall from the sky, I knew the universe was ready to put me to work.

I would run and put on my jacket, snow boots to prepare myself for the work ahead. But every single time, before I went outside, I would stop by my older sister’s room to see if she wanted to help me. I knew she would say no, but I always asked anyway.

One day there was a lot of snow, and there was no way I would be able to clean it all up myself. It was getting dark, and I hated the thought of my dad having to shovel the snow after a long day of work. So I did the routine and knocked on my sister’s door. As I expected, she gave me the same old “no”. Annoyed, I asked again. Without saying anything further, she got up, pushed me out of the room and slammed (平地关上) the door in my face.

I stood there silently for a second. Then, I turned around, went out of the house, and set out in the cold to tackle the enemy that lay in my driveway. But I couldn’t calm down. I was really angry that she would leave me to battle this alone. All I wanted was some help. The more I remembered every “no” she had ever said to me, the angrier I became.

I fought tirelessly, my short arms swinging from side to side while the wind cut against my cheeks. After one long hour, I was not even halfway done. Looking at the victorious snow, I thought of Dad’s disappointment.

6 . The pandemic has almost all of us spending more time than ever staring at screens. That’s true of children too—and not just as a replacement for playing with their friends in person.

Between remote (远程的) classrooms and virtual visits with family, there are plenty of reasons behind the increase screen time, according lo Dr. Jenny Radesky. “Kids’ time on screens has quickly increased—but it’s had to,” she said.

There are already signs that the increased screen time is harming the eyes of Canadian children.

One recent survey out of British Columbia found that 73 per cent of students that were studied reported having experienced at least one eye concern or condition since the pandemic began. Eye health experts think the pandemic will be harmful to child eye health where schools have closed and screen time has increased.

A study by University of British Columbia, based on data from before the pandemic, found that Grade 7 students who spent less than two hours a day on screens reported higher levels of life satisfaction, and that reduced screen time has something to do with lower levels of worry and disappointment.

Radesky said the key is not to put a hard limit on screen time, but to focus on more “problematic” screen- aided activities—those situations in which “media use is taking the place of .he other activities that kids usually love, or is becoming the only thing they want to do.”

She recommended that parents keep a close eye on what their children aw doing on their electronic devices (设备), and steer them away from apps that are trying to keep them addicted or track their data. “The biggest issue is... the way tech is designed is to keep us on longer, to get more clicks,” she said.
